The rumor of an in-game concert featuring pop singer Sabrina Carpenter is interesting enough to have Fortnite players going wild, and the reactions have been… well, far from unanimous. Originally unearthed by the leakers @BeastFNCreative and @Loolo_WRLD, the rumor has torn the player base apart, with some excited to welcome it and others practically wanting to throw their controller against the wall.
What exactly had transpired? Well, if that should ever materialize, Sabrina Carpenter would join other artists who have performed actual virtual concerts in Fortnite, thus outranking Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, and Marshmello. Such events in themselves: floating stages, mind-boggling visuals, and hundreds of thousands of players hanging out and enjoying vibes in real-time. And this rumor isn’t well received by everyone.
Those answers were generated in an extreme mixture of excitement, confusion, and outright hostility. An user @WukLamatHater69 simply said: “Massive L, give us Daft Punk already.” Elsewhere, @Victor_6505 had another funny approach: “They should give her 2 more emotes so I can finish my preset of only Sabrina Carpenter stuff.” Dedication… or obsession. I can’t decide.
But there were others — still bitter because some artists get a stage while others don’t. @KillerC96557207 just let it out: “Not going bc they never gave Miku one so f–k this.” Apparently, still not Miku’s day. And @TankRaul wasn’t shy either: “I need a Miku concert first…” The virtual idol fanbase is endless in its vindication-and frankly, deserving.
Then there were, for some haters, that would stand by artist supporters. For example, @DtRiddlerr spammed “YES! YES! YES!” better than any WWE hype man could have. And @Tyler_Smith116 might have said something pretty crazy here: “Someone’s finally gonna give the @marshmello concert a run for GOAT live event.”
And, of course, you also have the necessary obligatory “Who asked for this?” Council. One of them was @championpants, who kept it short and sweet: “We don’t want it.” And right on cue, @HLT_Jeremiah went into full rant mode, “Please, please no!” while debating with anyone who dared to support the idea. Classic Twitter indeed.
The weirdest part, however? Some of the replies had nothing to do with the concert. @caleb_beyeaDSW dropped “What about the Star Wars event at the end of the mini season?” completely out of context. And just to keep our conversations random, @Rodrigolorat demanded an “Espresso 10min version,” a little ironic considering it’s a track by Sabrina. Priorities, man!
Epic Games has wrapped itself in the cloak of nonconfirmation for this announcement, just as it does often. Nonetheless, if history is anything to go by, such leaks usually end up being true. Hate it or love it, whether anyone wants it or not, Fortnite’s in-games concerts are gigantically sponsored events that pull millions of players and create crazy media buzz.
Now, if Sabrina Carpenter is to be actually musical guest number X on Fortnite, it’s chaos in the making. Half of the players would be pumping out dance moves in a crowd that exists purely in nowhere-land of grey polygons; the other half would boycott with sheer dignity, and then some more would be there just to mock the set-up. A spectacle indeed-even if only to watch the entire internet throw a fit about a cartoon concert.
Meanwhile, the current season of Fortnite continues rolling with updates, skins, and the full grind. So, Sabrina’s concert? That’s just icing on the cake, and honestly, that’s one point everyone can agree on.
